So Rich had this idea to combine two of our previous hacks, the 4-chip closed
caption decoder with RS-232 output, and a Sony IR remote, with a little bit
of new code to make the O.J. Mute-O-Matic (tm).
It detects references to O.J. (and other related keywords) in the closed
caption data, and either mutes the audio for a while, or changes the channel.
Too bad we didn't do this a year ago.
Info and code for the two earlier hacks can be found at:
